Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Plumsteadville, PA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Plumsteadville can include detoxification treatment which are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
